Review:

I was given this bible as a gift nearly 10 years ago and I still LOVE it. I have read it cover-to-cover and now frequently open to a random section for daily meditations or to look up a passage. The commentary provided is what really puts this bible above all my others. The explanations from the Navarre Faculty and the quotes from the early church fathers and the saints make the gospel passages really applicable and understandable. Through this bible I've developed a deeper understanding and love of the scriptures and our Lord, not to mention for the blessed Mother, John Paul II, St Escriva, St Augustine, and many others.
I have subsequently bought this as a gift for a friend and plan do buy another in the future. Great buy! I can't recommend it highly enough!
